Your Trials And Heartaches Can Build You Into Someone Stronger

To be honest in the midst of trials or heartaches that you might be enduring or endured; you truthfully never see the bright side of things until you're out of it and it has passed. This time feels like a long road that is crowded with overwhelming thoughts and ongoing rainstorms of emotions. These are times that you have to push through in order to get to the other side, but some days it feels almost "impossible." But I am here a girl that has been through it and walked out the other side a BETTER person than better. I am sure that you are saying "maybe for her, but I am different."

In all honesty, we all had someone that said they walked through it and stood there with the ongoing "that's not me" emotion and thought process. It isn't about how you got there, but it's HOW the journey shaped you into someone stronger, and wiser than before. The lessons, trials, bumps all have one thing in common for us and that is they build you into someone maybe wiser, stronger, kinder or grateful for what you have and are.

We often go through the storms so that way we can see a rainbow at the end, and be on a better path that has been set aside for us to endure and we wouldn't have found it otherwise. These trials can truly take away the artificiality to us, and leave behind the raw part of us which shows truly what we long for and how who we are from within. The key to this is to allow the situation to build you by looking at it as a task to accomplish and gain wisdom from. And this my dear will lead you to your final destination.

It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.
